Steal This Look: An Alpine Apartment in Vals, Switzerland

February 21, 2023

Nestled in the mountains of Vals, Switzerland, Brücke 49 is a pension including a series of semi-served apartments for longer term rent. Designed by Ruth Kramer, the Stuba apartment features a soft grey palette and charmingly mix-and-match elements that feel distinctly European. Here we detail some of those key elements to recreate the look stateside or elsewhere.
